Echo Point faces the Three Sisters sandstone peaks with Mt Solitary, Ruined Castle, and Narrowneck Plateau in the background. Boars Head lookout frames a rock formation resembling a wild boar.

Govetts Leap offers views of the Grose Valley and Bridal Veil Falls, which at 180 metres is the longest single-drop waterfall in the mountains.

Lunch is freshly prepared by Greg, featuring 24-hour fermented sourdough bread with various fillings, two salads, and dessert.
